Two men have been charged with drug trafficking after an alleged weekend burglary on Hammond Street.
Don Dube, 53, of Newburgh was charged with felony aggravated trafficking in schedule W drugs and misdemeanor drug possession, while Scott Lord, 36, of Bangor was charged with felony possession of firearms by a prohibited person, felony aggravated trafficking of scheduled W drugs and violating conditions of release, along with other misdemeanors, according to Sgt. Jason McAmbley, a spokesperson for the Bangor Police Department.
Officers encountered Dube and Lord about 11 p.m. Saturday while responding to a possible burglary at a Hammond Street property, McAmbley said Monday.
